Review

The last of the series is bittersweet. This lovely, warm, and accepting family of hearth witches are officially coupled up and blissfully happy!

The final story is our other twin, Jasper. While his brother Leo is falling in love with a phoenix, Jasper is soon to discover his ‘one’ is a lonely Krampus who doesn’t fit in his family or the stereotype of one.

Battling an illness no one can figure out, the only that brings real relief is going back to the woods where he almost drowned and being near Kraghol.

Kraghol is sweet and kind and deeply traumatized by the fear people have of his kind. It’s what holds him back from truly accepting a relationship with the witch.

But being willing to fight for something can go a long way.

While I'm still not pleased with Jasper and how he treated his brother, I love this couple and the life, love, and acceptance they’ve created.

Synopsis

A lonely and touch-starved monster. A human dealing with a mysterious illness. A bond that changes everything.

Since the day Jasper nearly died in the forest, a strange sickness has consumed his life. More than that, an ache inside him urges him to find something. Or someone. With his fox familiar, he searches without knowing what or who he’s searching for. Only that he must find them, or the ache inside will never be fulfilled. Sometimes, he feels the weight of unseen eyes on him. But when he turns, no one is there.

Kraghol is not like other krampuses. He despises the fear his kind is meant to inspire. When Kraghol saved Jasper’s life, a bond forged between them. But since that day, Kraghol has hidden from Jasper, watching him from the shadows, unable to bear the thought of Jasper seeing his monstrous face.

Then one day, Jasper collapses in the snow. Unable to stop himself, Kraghol rushes to his aid. And when Jasper awakens, he knows that Kraghol is the one he’s been searching for.

But their worlds could not be more different. Kraghol knows a human and a krampus have no future. Can Jasper help him overcome his doubts? Or will Kraghol condemn them both to a lifetime of loneliness?

The Krampus’s First Christmas Gift is an MM cosy fantasy romance with plenty of spice. It features Christmas vibes, a family of hearth and kitchen witch bakers, a touch-starved krampus, a fox familiar, a very long tongue being used inappropriately, and an HEA. Whilst this book is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone.
